National Angora Show 2025

23 Students and 26 Angora Goats boarded the bus and trailer for the 2025 National Angora Trophy Show at 6:30am Friday morning 7th March. The team travelled to Goulburn Show Grounds. On arrival the Students unloaded the animals and set them up in their pens ready for the judging in the Youth Competition.

The animals were assessed by the Judge and we were awarded Champion Buck and Doe. The Students were then put to the test in the Led Wether and Open Paraders competition.

After judging concluded for the day, we set up camp inside the shed and headed off to the Paragon Café for a meal and a quick shop at Woollies to organise food for the next day.

Saturday started early with the open competition. Students presented the schools animals and helped other exhibitors in the preparation and presentation of their animals. During the day all Students also acted as Stewards, helping the Judge and show organisers in the running of the show ring. This was a great help to all involved and contributed to the running of the event.

After the auction we loaded the bus and set off for home, after a short delay we regrouped and set off for home, arriving safely at 9:30pm.

The animals were returned to their paddock and Students were collected by their parents.

A huge thank you to Mrs Ostler for helping over the two days.
